ROSTR: A Unified Architecture for Production-Grade Multi-Agent Systems — Framework Papers and Agent Quick Start Guide

The ROSTR (Runtime, Orchestration, State, Tools, Reference) framework is a modular agent operating system comprising five components: PAL (Prompt Abstraction Layer) — a five-stage compiler that transforms natural language intent into structured agent runtime manifests; RAG DAL (Dynamic Acquisition Layer) — autonomous multi-pass retrieval with three-tier source credibility scoring; NPAO (Necessity, Priority, Anxiety, Opportunity) — a human-aligned task classification and sequencing framework paired with the 4Ds Lifecycle phase engine; Rostr Hub — a persistent, multi-namespace shared knowledge architecture; and ContextEngine — a zero-infrastructure flat-file session memory layer. This deposit contains the ROSTR Master Paper, five individual component papers, and the ROSTR Agent Quick Start Guide for Claude Code and OpenClaw deployments.
